Dr Jordan Peterson swore by it (psychologist) by his experience, but I have a feeling it contributed to health problems for him
dr andrew huberman recommends starchy carbs ( not refined sugars) before bed to induce a sleepy state for instance and to biohack. starchy carbs also increase seritonin. O/t but another good point he makes :
refined sugars affect and disrupt neurons in gut that create a situation where start to you crave more sugar , eventually via the vagus nerve, which can trigger the release of dopamine, and can make you crave more sugar,
independent of how something may taste
Dr. Peterson has benefited greatly as does his daughter and NO, YOUR FEELINGS are wrong and in fact carnivore diet has cured life long illnesses that they both suffered with. There is a period of ADJUSTMENT and is not easy on the digestive system, but have very good results with it for 4 months now. Below is a short bit of an interview on what transpired,
Peterson described an adolescence that involved multiple debilitating medical diagnoses, beginning with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Some unknown process had triggered her body’s immune system to attack her joints. The joint problems culminated in hip and ankle replacements in her teens, coupled with “extreme fatigue, depression and anxiety, brain fog, and sleep problems.” In fifth grade she was diagnosed with depression, and then later something called
idiopathic hypersomnia (which translates to English as “sleeping too much, of unclear cause”—which translates further to
sorry we really don’t know what’s going on).
Everything the doctors tried failed, and she did everything they told her, she recounted to me. She fully bought into the system, taking large doses of strong immune-suppressing drugs like methotrexate.

Her story took a dramatic turn in 2015, when the underdog protagonist, nearly at the end of her rope, figured out the truth for herself. It was all about food.
Peterson adopted a common approach to dieting: elimination. She started cutting out foods from her diet, and feeling better each time. She began with
gluten, and she kept going, casting out more and more—not just gluten or dairy or soy or
lectins or artificial sweeteners or non-artificial sweeteners, but
everything. Until, by December 2017, all that was left was “beef and salt and water,” and, she told me, “all my symptoms went into remission.”
